Bible verses about "theology" | WPNT

¹ Therefore, leaving the elementary teaching about Christ, let us move on toward perfection, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and trust in God, ² of teaching about baptisms, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. ³ We will do this, that is, if indeed God should permit it. ⁴ Because, it is impossible to bring back into repentance those who were once for all enlightened, who have partaken of the heavenly gift and were made sharers in the Holy Spirit, ⁵ who have experienced God’s good event and capabilities of the coming age, ⁶ and yet have fallen away—they would be crucifying the Son of God all over again, just for themselves, holding Him up to contempt. ⁷ Now the ground that drinks in the rain that frequently falls on it and produces a crop useful to those for whom it is really cultivated receives blessing from God; ⁸ but should it bear thorns and thistles, it is disqualified, almost a curse, whose destiny is a burning. ⁹ For all that, dear ones, we are confident of the better things concerning you—things that accompany salvation—even though we speak like this. ¹⁰ Because God is not unjust so as to ignore your work, even the labor of love you have invested in His name, in that you have ministered to the saints and continue to do so. ¹¹ You see, we really do want each of you to show this same diligence to the very end, so as to fulfill the hope; ¹² so that you not become lazy, but rather imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises. ¹³ Now when God made a promise to Abraham, since He had no one greater to swear by, He swore by Himself ¹⁴ saying, “Indeed, blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you.” ¹⁵ And so, after he had been patient, he obtained the promise. ¹⁶ Because since men swear by the greater, and for them the confirming oath puts an end to every dispute, ¹⁷ similarly God, being determined to show even more clearly to the heirs of the promise the unchanging nature of His purpose, guaranteed it by an oath, ¹⁸ so that by two unalterable things in which it is impossible for God to lie we should have a strong encouragement, we who have taken refuge by grasping the hope set before us; ¹⁹ which hope we have as an anchor for the soul, both certain and secure, actually entering the inner sanctuary behind the curtain, ²⁰ where Forerunner Jesus has entered on our behalf, having become High Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.

⁸ For by grace you have been saved, through the faith —and this not of yourselves, it is the gift of God— ⁹ not by works, so that no one may boast.

¹ In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God . ² He Himself existed in the beginning with God. ³ All things came to be by Him; that is, apart from Him not even one thing that has come into being came to be. ⁴ In Him was life, and the life was the light of mankind. ⁵ Now the Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. ⁶ There was a man, sent from God, whose name was John. ⁷ This man came as a witness to testify about the Light, so that all might believe through him. ⁸ He himself was not the Light but was to testify about the Light— ⁹ the true Light which illumines everyone who comes into the world. ¹⁰ He was in the world, the world that came into being by Him, yet the world did not know Him. ¹¹ He came to His own things, yet His own people did not receive Him. ¹² But, as many as did receive Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe into His name: ¹³ who were begotten, not by blood, nor by the desire of the flesh, nor by the will of a man, but by God . ¹⁴ So the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we observed His glory, glory of an Only-begotten, from the Father, full of grace and truth.

³ Because I transmitted to you at first that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,

¹⁶ All Scripture is God-breathed and is valuable for teaching, for reproving, for correcting, for training in righteousness,
